C2499 Ominously

Thinking to this point, Lin Bai did not hesitate and directly walked to the bedside. He grabbed Tai'e's hand, then swept his fingernail towards the tip of his finger, wanting to verify the conjecture in his heart.

All he could see was that the fingernails on Tai'e's fingertips had grown a lot. Moreover, the way a fingernail grew was very different from an ordinary person's fingernail, as it grew with a sharp tip. Although the fingernails were not very long, they were beginning to show some clues. They were extremely similar to the nails of Broken Claw.

Could it be that Tai'e was really attached to that body by that evil omen, and wanted to use Tai'a's body as a new, ominous carrier? Thinking of this, Lin Bai could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He didn't dare to imagine that if his guess was correct, then that ominous sign really did live inside Tai'e's body, causing Tai'e to become ominous. At that time, how would he be able to make his move under the fear of throwing a rat …

Fortunately, although Tai A's current appearance appeared extremely strange, these strange signs were only just clues. Even if that happened, it was possible for it to be solved.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong? Did you notice something?" Seeing Lin Bai's surprised expression, the jade artifact elder also tightly furrowed his brows, revealing a hopeful and perturbed expression as he asked Lin Bai.

Tai'e had been set in his heart as the successor. Although he had encountered this disaster, he believed that with Tai'e's willpower, as long as she could recover, it was possible for her to catch up. Moreover, after this calamity, Taia's realm would be more stable and his cultivation even stronger.

With this mentality, as long as there was still a chance, he would definitely not give up. And Lin Bai had the highest cultivation among them, even the so-called immortal was no match for him. Although Elder Zang Tan didn't know what was going on in Tai A, that didn't mean that Lin Bai didn't have the ability to resolve this strange situation.

"Look here, and look at Tai'e's fingernails. Are they extremely similar to that broken claw?" Lin Bai shook his head with a bitter smile when he heard this. After which, he slowly said with a perplexed expression, "I wonder if Taia's current appearance is an ominous invasion into his body."

Hiss! As soon as these words came out, the jade artifact Elder's last remaining hope immediately turned to smoke, leaving behind only endless fear. Although he was severely injured, it was not impossible for him to survive if he was treated like that. However, if an ominous thing were to invade his body and a bird were to occupy the dove nest, then what was the chance of survival?

Moreover, once Tai Ah's body was completely occupied by the ominous events, then according to Tie Yuan's words, a terrifying calamity would surely befall upon them. At that time, would they be afraid to shoot a rat, or kill Tai A, or grind their teeth and kill him?

No matter which one of these two it was, it was definitely something they couldn't bear, and the consequences were hard to choose from.

"I'm still just guessing, so I'm not completely sure. Maybe it's not as I thought." Seeing the jade artifact elder's contradictory expression, Lin Bai immediately comforted him. He then said in a deep voice, "All of you leave first. I want to see just what sort of situation he is in right now, and whether or not there is an ominous invasion!"

"Don't you need us to stand guard here?" Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, the jade artifact Elder heaved a sigh of relief. However, he knew that although he couldn't confirm it, it didn't mean that it was impossible.

"No need." Lin Bai slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "All you need to do is wait quietly outside. Remember, regardless of what happens inside, do not enter this place. When everything is clear, I will inform you."

It was a huge mystery whether the unlucky people in the mine had actually entered Tai'e's body or not. If it was really as he had expected, no one would know what would happen after he had investigated Tai Ah's body.

Not only that, since that ominous existence was able to unleash the power of reverse creation, his combat prowess could be considered unfathomable. If he were to be disturbed, and something erupted out of nowhere, the lives of everyone would be in danger.

More importantly, Lin Bai was afraid that if the unlucky fellow discovered that he was spying on Tai'e, and escaped from Tai'e's body and entered other people's bodies, then everything would become even more difficult to control.

One Tai'e was already enough to leave everyone helpless. If there was one more, the consequences would be dire.

"Brother Lin, I will give you Taia's life!" Lin Bai spoke with sincerity, and the jade artifact Elder was simply unable to change Lin Bai's mind. After hesitating for a moment, he cupped his hands together and bowed, then walked out.

"Master, be careful. I'll wait outside for your good news." Although Leng Yanyan also wanted to stay here and accompany Lin Bai, she knew that there was absolutely no possibility of Lin Bai turning the tables on any decision he made. Moreover, this time's matter was different than the one before. No matter how long she persisted, Lin Bai would not back down.

Moreover, because of that ominous existence, investigating Tai'e's condition was also an extremely dangerous matter. If he stayed here, he would definitely distract Lin Bai and tell him that if there was anything else, it would be bad at that time.

After everyone had retreated, Lin Bai did not rush to take action. Instead, he circled around Tai Ah's body, his eyes flashing like lightning. He looked around his body, searching for anything out of the ordinary with his source energy.

Xiao Yan's eyes were like torches when he looked at Tai'e. One could see that the wounds on his body had some strange gray fog lingering around them, much like the edge of a broken claw. Furthermore, from what Lin Bai could see, the grey mist was like a living being, constantly changing, wanting to completely turn Tai Ah's body into a broken claw.

After muttering to himself irresolutely, Lin Bai slowly raised his hand and circulated his mana. Like peeling silk from a cocoon, he grabbed at the gray fog between Tai'e's wounds. He wanted to pull a wisp of it and analyze the specific effects of this gray fog.

Against Lin Bai's expectations, the grey mist seemed to have no power to resist Lin Bai's grasp. Everything seemed to have been captured easily, and a trace of grey mist was instantly caught by Lin Bai's mana.

Weird, why is this thing completely defenseless? This strangely went smoothly, causing Lin Bai to frown. This kind of smooth degree could be described as strange. There must be something behind this anomaly. The reason for this must be because there was something fishy going on.

Even though he had many doubts in his heart, Lin Bai did not stop his actions. Instead, he slowly submerged his consciousness into the gray fog, trying to penetrate it and dissect the origin of the item.

Boom!" Just by looking at the source energy entering the grey mist, Lin Bai immediately felt a rumbling sound of thunder beside his ears. It was as if he had fallen into the vast starry sky.

From the front and back of his body, one could not see his five fingers in front of him. It was as if the primal chaos of the universe had yet to be established. However, there were specks of light in the primal chaos. They were like a sky full of stars, constantly flickering and changing. If one looked closely, one would realize that those specks of light were actually constantly changing runes.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Bai used the Origin Energy in his body to fly towards one of the light dots. He wanted to enter the light dot and perform a more accurate analysis to figure out what was hidden inside.

The moment he came into contact with the light, Lin Bai could feel a chilling energy coming from the deepest part of his soul, assailing him from all directions. Although only a sliver of his spiritual will was inside the grey fog, under this strange power, he felt his whole body being frozen. The coldness seeped into his lungs and couldn't get out.

Even now, under this kind of cold aura, he felt that everything he meant, everything he cherished, were all rapidly leaving him. Meanwhile, he seemed to be continuously falling down, falling into an endless abyss, completely sinking within, allowing the void to occupy everything.

This kind of feeling made him feel that the grey fog was actually not fog, but a strange existence. To be more accurate, it seemed more like a source energy, a unique source energy that belonged to death.

And under this feeling, Lin Bai suddenly felt that everything about him had become uncontrollable. It was as if it was not just his spiritual will alone, but everything was leaving him, irrevocably and completely uncontrollable.

Damn it, this thing is so strange, no wonder it was grabbed by me so easily without any resistance. It is actually trying to bind me, trying to make me assimilate the power of death in this grey fog!

It was also fortunate that after experiencing so many life and death battles, whether it was Lin Bai's dao heart or the strength of his spiritual will, both had already reached an unimaginable level. This feeling only appeared once and immediately made him feel that something was unusual. Without any hesitation, he directly used the Intellectual Sword in his heart to cut off the connection between this divine sense and his soul.

Even so, Lin Bai's forehead was dripping with sweat as soon as he withdrew his consciousness. It was as if he had just been pulled out of a pool of water. His face was also extremely pale, as if he had been severely injured.

Just what in the world was the omen of the Land of Buried Dragon? Why did it not only stop the body from recovering, but also possess the power of death? Even if it was just a strand of divine sense touching it, it would still be as dangerous as stepping on a tightrope?!
